Package: xlibmesa3-glu
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: important
The package creates the following symbolic links:
$ ll /usr/lib/libGLU*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2003-05-01 15:14 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 ->
libGLU.so.1.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2003-05-01 15:14 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3 ->
../X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3
This makes it impossible to link a program with -lGLU. There should be an
additional symlink named libGLU.so.
